  1. Choosing the right lawyer for your case

  2. If you are a financial advisor and find yourself in a spot of legal trouble, you will need the help of a lawyer. How do you choose the right lawyer? In this blog we list some of the ways in which you can have access to the best lawyer.

  3. Conduct candidate interviews Interviewing a lawyer is the best way of assessing his legal ability. Most attorneys will provide you with an initial consultation free of charge. Consider the below questions when you interview the lawyer;

  4. What is the experience of the lawyer in your type of legal matter? • How long is the lawyer in practice? • What is the lawyer’s track record of success? • What percentage of the caseload is dedicated to handling your kind of problem? • Do they possess any additional skills? • What are the lawyer’s fees and how is it structured? • Does the lawyer have malpractice insurance? • Who else is going to work on your case and what are their rates? • How often will you be billed? • Can they provide references from other clients? • Do they have a written fee agreement? • How are you going to be informed of any developments in your case?

  5. After meeting the lawyer ask yourself the following questions; • Is the lawyer’s experience and background compatible with your needs? • Do they provide prompt and courteous answers? • Will you be comfortable working with them? • Are you confident that they have the skills and experience to tackle your case? • Are you comfortable with the fees and their structure?

  6. Ask other lawyers Lawyers are aware of the skill and reputation of their fellow lawyers. Attorneys may be able to provide information about a fellow attorney which is not readily available. They have information about the lawyer’s ethics, competence level, practice habits, demeanor, as well as their reputation.

  7. Background check Before hiring the Securities Disputes Lawyer, contact the lawyer disciplinary agency in your home state in order to confirm that they are in good standing as members of the bar. If you have located the attorney over the internet, a background check is an absolute necessity. You can also check the attorney’s peer reviews online.

  8. Tour the office You can say a lot about an attorney from the shape of his office. You should request the lawyer for a brief tour of the facilities apart from the office and consulting room. Check if the law office is neat, tidy, and well run. What about the support staff? Does the staff appear friendly?

  9. If you are a financial advisor needing a lawyer then look for legal services for financial advisors, financial advisor lawyers, financial advisor attorney, attorneys representing financial advisors and financial advisor lawyers in Chicago.
